blood work tomorrow

hello everyone...
just found this wee forum

looking for some help and info please...

for the last 5 months i have been getting worse...>

up 4/5 times a night for a pee....while i,m up i have to have something sweet to eat..cake, biscuit ect with glass of milk as i,m thirsty...but it must be something sweet..no chicken, no bread..just sweet things like cakes, choc biscuit ect.....now i,m putting on weight...i presume because of the sweet things at night ?
really feeling fatigued, not just i,m tired, its way beyond that....its like a sickly/ill tired thats forces you to go to bed....without question or compromise
the good bits are getting shorter in-between the fatigue as well the last 4 weeks...so short tempered as well as i,m losing work hours..and my feet are freezing all of the day..like there belong to a corpse..only heat up when i get into bed with leccy blanket on... ;-(

the last week however, i have been needing more and more sleep and the great feeling is getting shorter by the day.....today i have slept most of the day / evening and only got 4/5 hrs where i felt great...

but today i also have been feeling really dizzy as well as the fatigued...as if i,m kinda slightly tipsy ...my head is really light/spinning.

my doc think i got touch of diabetes and ordered blood work tomorrow.

i,m also on TRT and thyroxine for life as well, but that was tested for over the last 6 months and is stable...also had prostate checked..all fine

whats happening now has got me worried no end...the fatigue is very worrying..as is the light headedness .i was never like this....

i,m lucky business can revolve round this....but there is gonna come a point where i physically cant do it if this keeps getting worse ;-(

is this the onset of some sort of diabetes ??

i,m a 48 yr old man and for the first time in my life..i actually feel afraid, as i cant control the fatigue when it comes on.....

any help or info would be most helpful...

Hi Jonathan,

Your symptoms do sound like high blood sugars, but we can't advise you on anything until your results are ready. Good luck. When you get your results, please ask for a print out of them. You are entitled to this and will find it very useful and essential.

Come back with your results and then ask questions.

i will do my friend.....
due to get em back friday coming....

got wee problem when woke up this morning tho....
my head was like spinning.....and i got what can only be described as a cold sweat
this is now 5pm, and my head is still spinning and i still have a slight cold sweat....i feel warm but my torso feels really cold to touch
what ever is going on here...its getting worse...all my friends who have diabetes are saying thats what i got......but like you said, i cant do or ask much more till i get full blood work results....kinda scary feeling half drunk all day tho....and still have it

edit..forgot to add...i also woke up last night with the most horrendous sore cramps in the backs of my calf's.... both of them...never had both as sore at the same time....and the bending back the toes bit wasnt working ;-(

and my heart rate was going like ten to the dozen.. = bloody fast..have had that most of the day as well...like thumping heart beat...really odd to say the least !!
